Ways and Means On July lOth, 1886, and |
10 an adverse report upon resolution |
the taxes upon tohae0o, sat. /
n11ted on the same date By W. O. p.
Of Kentucky, another

The Democratic party, which for ten |

lress, controlled the Hoass 'of Repre-
and failed 90 aet upon the
Inbject, and THAI it waa By the Forty
seventh Congress, Republican, that the
axes were reduced fully 6fgy millions,
he reduction on tobacco being from
'ixteen 70 eight eents, yet the leaders
u the Democratic party In Virginia are
FytnQ to delude the people into the BE- |
ief that the repeal Of that system may
% now accomplished BY the Democratic
Iarty. The promise Of this repeal
vas made in 1884 and ia 1856 \
ly several Democratic candidates FOR 1
Congress. bat the people would not be /
ieceived. It nov remains 20 be tested /
Ehether the same hollow pFetext can be
lsed IN this election By the Democrats
nth any more success than attended
hem IN 1886. We declare that the mo-
nent that the Republicans loss control
u the Government Il vas prepared TO
vet upon this subject; that pEesident
Arthur had urged the repeal o. the
Iobacco tar, and the Democratic House,
With Q Republican Senate, was ready |
md anxious 10 reduce the taxes, but de-
lined 20 proceed.

Iically UNITED In favor Of The repeal Of
he tax on tobacco and fruit distilia-
ions. and, II restored 20 power, will re-
move tbs bnrdens which these domestic /
Drodnots have % loBg endured. We as-
art that the Democratic party IN Cou-
yress 10 opposed 10 the repeal Of the In
IeFnal revenue system. as shown by the |
ieelaratious OF she leaders from Presi-
